Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CSR had a duty to either return the iPod to Brad or hold onto it as a bailee until he could pick it up. By selling the iPod to Doris, they breached this duty and can be held liable for conversion. Doris can be considered a bona fide purchaser, meaning she bought the iPod in good faith and without knowledge of Brad's ownership. Therefore, Brad cannot recover from her. Neither Apple, Inc. nor any other party is responsible for the actions of CSR and Doris.
